The new mail-service range provides services that are adapted to new consumer habits and uses. These savings are essential in order to safeguard the universal postal service, which the French people are extremely attached to. By refocusing shipping solutions around the three-day delivery deadline, which meets the majority of consumer needs, La Poste will be able to optimise its processing and transport networks by "loosening up" the logistics chain. In addition to this annual allocation from the State, the new mail-service range presented today will enable the company to save money. On 22 July 2021, the French Government announced it would allocate an annual budget of €500 to €520 million (depending on the quality of service results) to partially compensate for the universal postal service deficit. Due to this, the universal postal service in France, which is one of La Poste's four public service missions, lost a lot of money (to the tune of 1.1 billion euros).

This type of letter will be sent via the website (service available until 8pm). Moreover, since it must be delivered quicky, sometimes even requiring a plane journey, its energy footprint is significant.Ĭonsequently, for occasional urgent letters (to cancel a subscription, for example), La Poste will now offer the red e-Letter. The current format of the "Red Letter" no longer corresponds to consumer uses and habits. 1/ The more environmentally-friendly "red e-Letter" for sending occasional, urgent letters
